Jerry Coyne, Steven Pinker, and Richard Dawkins are big mad that FFRF removed an anti-trans article from their website

FFRF responded by taking down Coyne’s piece and publishing a hastily written letter restating their support for LGBTQ rights. The letter didn’t explain how the article got approved in the first place. The words “sorry” or “apology” or “yeah, we really fucked this one up” didn’t appear anywhere in it. Dr. Aaron Rabinowitz, ethics director at the Creator Accountability Network, told me he was hoping to see a more direct challenge to what Coyne got wrong in order to justify their removal of the piece:

This is so fucking stupid.

Like.

Objections to anything trans is almost certainly rooted in religious fruit cakery. (half baked fruit cakes at that,)

It should be self evident that they need to apologize and condemn the bigotry; and there needs to be accountability, starting with an actual and sincere apology and transparency in how this fuck up was allowed to happen in the first place, and a discussion of steps being taken to prevent it from happening again.
